    The pinball machines pre 1998 in canada do as they had a second transformer installed before they could be imported into ontario canada and it was hooked up before the on off switch. It was a big cash grab from the hydro company.

    Quoted from scampcamp:

    I reached in the front door of my Power Play for some surprise concert tickets I had for my wife & got a big shock while the game was off. There was power somewhere.

    There is power in there but it's not flowing. When you touched it you created a path to ground causing it to flow through you.
